I just saw a Bernie-left account whose bio is “#1 white woman hater”.

I really get that white women voting for and generally supporting the white male hegemony is fairly criticized.
1/
I also get that a lot of white women have a path to success through white men in white male hegemony, so they sell out everyone else for their personal interest. 2/
I also get that a lot of white women use their relative power to maintain their relative place.
So I understand absolutely when this behavior is called out. BY NON WHITE MEN. 3/
But it’s upsetting to me when people calling out complicity becomes a tool for the lead perps to keep the complicit in line and to deflect from their own responsibility.

4/
It’s hard to know how to balance these issues.
Be better white women.
Shut up for at least 400 years, white men.
Note: over-simplified term: white.

Read as cis/het/abled
Also include white adjacents.
